DCA

Split one order into smaller buys or sells over time.

DCA spreads one order over time. You set a total, a number of slices and the gap between them, and each slice trades as a market order.

Place a DCA order

  1. Open DCA

    In the trade panel, pick Buy or Sell, open Adv., then DCA.

  2. Set the total

    Enter the full amount in DCA TOTAL AMOUNT: SOL or USDC for a buy, tokens for a sell.

  3. Set slices and interval

    SLICES is how many equal parts, at least 2. INTERVAL is the seconds between them, at least 1. They start at 5 and 60.

  4. Place Order

    Press Place Order. A message confirms it, for example "DCA buy: 5 slices / 60s".

For example, 1 SOL in 5 slices with a 60-second interval buys 0.2 SOL five times, one minute apart.

While it runs

  • Each slice uses the slippage, fees and MEV mode of your active preset, saved when you place the order.
  • The order shows in Orders as DCA Buy or DCA Sell. It has no line on the chart, since it has no single price.
  • Funds are not set aside. Each slice needs the balance when its turn comes.
  • To stop the slices that have not run yet, press Cancel in Orders.
  • DCA is on the desktop trade panel only.

MIN MC and MAX MC are not applied to DCA orders yet, so every slice runs at whatever the market cap is. The Migration and Dev Sell tabs beside DCA are not working order types yet: Place Order there trades at market at once.
